Opis

John among the Apocalypses explains John's distinctive narrative of Jesus's life by comparing it to Jewish apocalypses and highlighting the central place of revelation in the Gospel. By engaging with modern genre theory, Reynolds reveals surprising similarities of form, content, and function between John's Gospel and Jewish apocalypses.

Recenzje

Reynolds's detailed engagement with both primary and secondary sources, including comments on John's possible social setting, makes the volume a helpful addition to discussions of how and why the Gospel reveals its message and messenger.
